Heretofore il was n weekly paper. Mr..
Wasser who formerly hailed from this
place, Is II gentleman possessing the
needed means and enterprise to make
his paper q success. and he seems to
prosper nicely in Kansas.
w. II. Smith, the Clinton County
Commissioners clerk, died very sud
denly last Sunday afternoon while
teaching his class at the Methodist
Church in Lock Haven. The church
was crowded and the greatest excite
ment prevailed. Mr.. Smith had been
in politics tor ut least twenty live years.
He was prominent Mason. Heart
disease was the cause of his death.
Among the arrivals In town last
week was that of Mrs. Rose STAN, the
wife of 4. Il. STAN, mayor of West u
nion, iowa. The lady is here to spend
part of the summer with her parents,
u. A. Musser's, sister, brothers, and
other relations. She Sseems to be In

Her many friends are truly glad to have
her among them.
We had the pleasure of n call from
two more Candidates for county offices

q. Miles, of Huston township. and
John Rupp from College. Both stayed
in town oyer night and put IN their time
in seeing friends political and otherwise.
They are fully up to the average of the
candidates in agreeableness and will
make n good run in this campaign.
Their announcements appear in the
proper place on the second page.
THE New DoDGE.-A gang of swim
dlers haye been taking in the farmers
of Mercer and Crawford counties SELL
ing eggs at $3 a doZtn and contracting
to take all the chickens Matched from
them at s.. each, representing them rs
a very valuable breed. The Matching
season gives the rascals ample time to
remove themselves TO foreign parts and
when the housewife after a months
setting examines the cause of delayed
results she finds that the hen is sitting
on boiled eggs.
In scanning the advertising col
umns of this weeks JOURNAL our
readers will notice the new card Of the
House, ono of the hotels in this
place. We can only add to the contents
Of the advertisement that w. S. MusSer
the proprietor is using every means TO
conduct his house in the most accepta-
BILE manner to the travelling public and
that his endeayors seem to meet with
the merited reward. His is truly a
place of rest and comfort for the way
faring man.
1T is curious fact that the body
is now more susceptible To benefit from
medicine than at any other season.
Hence the Importance OF taking Hoods

he most good. 1t is really wonderful
'or purifying and enriching the blood,
treating an appetite, and giving a
healthy tone to the whole system. BE
,ure To get Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
s peculiar 10 itself.
Women and wine have evidently
1een the cause of sad tragedy which
Philipsburg society last
week. A young and well-likei man by
he name of Jacob Boyer was found
lead on the Beech Greek road with a
pistol bullet in his head on Sunday May
18th. 1t is not known whether it was
case of suicide or murder, but at the
.ime of the affray lie was in company
of woman with doubtful character,
who had threatened at different to blow
his brains out. Both were under the
influence of liquor. The victim was a
conductor of train that makes up the
Beech Greek train.

To TIE PUBLIC.-A report has been
circulated that the machinery in our
mill is worn out, especially the Burr
used for making -four. We take this
means of declaring the report utterly
false. We challenge any one in this
part of the county TO produce better
,ett of Burrs than we have in our mill
'or the nenufacture of flour and chop.
We would just say that il any person
loubts our word let them give our new
miller, J. T. McDivitt, trial, or come
md see for themselves and be convinced
,f the untruth of said report. Mr..
McDevitt intends to run wagon week
y i'm this place, rs well as to Aarons-
)urg, Coburn and Madisonburg.
Thanking the people for past patronage
